Being associat- ed with the house or senate in minor positions often has payed the way for a clerk of a commit- tee or a secretary of a member to win a seat in his own right. Perhaps the most outstanding LaFollette, of Wisconsin. Sena- tor LaFollette can remember as a boy following his father around on his campaign tours in Wiscon- sin. Later he became his father’s secretary. “Young Bob’s” remarks in the senate are often punctuated with the hostilities of 1928, Paraguay references to his associations with! his father. In closing hours of the special session he conducted a fight for publicity of income tax returns. He admitted at the time crusade launched years ago “by my illustrious father.” There are two other senators in the present congress who began their political careers in minor capacities on Capitol hill. And there are numerous representatives who trace their political origin to that source. Up, Up. Up! Senator Wallane H.
